Depends on length. I seem to recall some interesting figures for short lengths (say 6m) for the old 1980's style phone cable. I suspect the claims you are talking about are from people using CAT5 twisted pair which is data cable, also used for phones. Also was the claim for running 100MBit/s continuously, or for running 100baseT which is slower?

Dear List, I have seen claims that normal twisted pair telephone can work up to 100MBits/Sec. Has anyone had any experience with it in the real world? http://www.homepna.org/ -- Richard Hayes Nada Marketing PO Box 12 Gordon Australia 2072 Tel: +(61-2) 9412 4367 Fax: +(61-2) 9412 4920 Mob: +(61) 0414 618 425 www.nada.com.au -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html -- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
